HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — There’s trouble brewing in the Brady household.
Christopher Knight is firing back after Florence Henderson, who played his mom on the cult favorite “The Brady Bunch,” questioned his marriage to Adrianne Curry.
“It hurts me deeply that someone that I have loved and respected for so many years; someone that has held an esteemed position in my life, would discuss overtly negative personal opinions about my marriage in a public forum,” the 50-year-old Knight wrote on his MySpace page.
“Since I was a child I looked up to Florence as a consummate professional and as a woman of unique class. I can only hope these recent comments are an aberration or better yet, taken completely out of context,” he added.
Last week, Henderson spoke out about Knight’s venture into reality TV, in which he stars with the 25-year-old Curry on the VH1 show “My Fair Brady.” Henderson reluctantly appeared on the couple’s show, but said the reality series seemed to force them into a marriage.
“They didn’t take my advice at all! And as you may have seen, they did get engaged and they did get married,” Henderson told People. “Maybe I will counsel the divorce.”
Knight admitted the manner in which he met his wife was out of the ordinary, but he says that doesn’t mean the couple’s love should be diminished.
“My love for Adrianne may have emerged and blossomed from uniquely odd circumstances. Yet the challenges this has created for us seem to pale in comparison to the challenge this has created for some persons to believe in us,” he wrote. “It is no secret Florence and Adrianne do not see eye to eye. In truth, I can empathize with both sets of views. But….in the struggle I have hoping one day these two women will bridge their generation and philosophical differences, calling my marriage a sham helps so very little.”
“I put forth the hope that one day both Adrianne and Florence, both of whom have played an integral role in my life, will find a way to come together in a peaceful and respectful way,” he continued. “In the meantime, the sanctity of my marriage should not be called into question.”
Knight and Curry married in the model’s hometown of Joliet, Ill. on May 29, 2006. The former “Peter Brady” says he’s as happy as can be with the “America’s Next Top Model” winner.
“I love Adrianne with all my heart and can’t begin to imagine life without her,” he wrote. “Our marriage is as true and certain as the love we share as husband and wife. Although we met under the most unlikely circumstances, our romance then and relationship now is as real as any that ever been created.”
